Halsall

Halsall is a village close to Ormskirk and Leeds and Liverpool Canal. The Grade I 14th century St Cuthbert’s church is the most notable landmark in the village. Halsall is where the first sod was ceremonially dug on November 5th 1770, by the Hon Charles Mordaunt for the commencement of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. The sculpture “Halsall Navvy” by Thompson Dagnall commemorates this event.
